i still cant believe this...but hyvee here in muscatine has bcbs still on the shelves after a week...and still like 5 or more bottles of enjoy by....i bought 6 . Spaten is great but how much can you drink at one time....i guess thats only about 1.6 boots.

Never had one, but Balk(?) used to talk about it on here. Everybody says it's the best beer ever. I'm not a huge Belgian fan. I mean I like them, but I'm not going crazy over them. So I can't help but think I would be let down.

That being said, I've tried some of the best Belgian beers in Monasteries in Belgium and Germany, and have discovered they all taste like Belgian beers. Without a trained palate I doubt you'll be able to enjoy the intricacies that supposedly make it a superior Belgian Style brew in comparison to others.

Its #2 on Beer Advocates top beers. Its typically only ever sold in Belgium, which makes this harder than hell to get in the states. Its similar to the Abt12 made by St.Bernardus. The same yeast is used in both beers and are very similar(so I have heard). I bought a six pack today at John's in Iowa city. The Royal mile is selling some tomorrow from what i have heard. I don't know when.

P.S. I have heard from a few ppl now that even after the cost of $85 a six pack the places that are selling this stuff are only making around a dollar of profit per six pack

I have never tried any gluten-free beer, but last time I was at Beer Crazy, a customer was getting some recommendations on a few that they carry. You may want to stop by Beer Crazy or give them a call and see what they recommend.

Now I ain't living like I should"

my ex only drank gluten free beers. I don't know what you can get in Iowa but she preferred something called Bards the best. There is another called New Planet that is on tap around here that isn't bad. Very light. My favorite gluten free brew that I think tastes most like beer is Estrella Daura. Pricey though. Just make her drink good english ciders.
